Kiara's POV

I froze when I heard my name.

“Kiara, Please wait!” His voice echoed through the hall as his footsteps quickly approached. I stood still, my fist clenched, as pain crept through me.

Slowly, I turned to face him. Every nerve in my body was writhing in pain.

His eyes were filled with sorrow and disbelief. “Damon, give us a moment,” I said without looking at him.

Damon hesitated, giving me a look before stepping back, just far enough to give us space but still close enough to step in if needed.

Nicholas didn't wait. He closed the distance between us, towering over me. The same Nicholas who used to shout at me, who made me cry, now stood here, shuddering in front of me.

I stole a glance at the few people passing by us and I said, “Yes, Mr. Chavez?” My voice was cold. Very cold.

I remembered everything in a flash. The day we got married, the day we moved into his new estate, the day our lovely marriage started to fall apart.

I had predicted that he had been seeing someo

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    28: Before the flight

    Kiara's POV My stomach twisted at the thought that I had lost Damon. I sighed, staring blankly at Jamie as I scratched my head. “Don't overthink it, girl. He loves you. You know that right?” Jamie placed her hand on mine, giving me a reassuring look. Right. I was overthinking again. I never wanted to hurt Damon and wished I had explained everything to him. I pressed my lips together, chuckling slightly as she smiled widely, pulling me into a hug. I needed this. “Thanks, Jamie,” I whispered, closing my eyes as a wave of relief crashed through me. We started to get ready for my three-day trip. She had agreed to stay back at the office, handling things with Collen. Tomorrow was the day I'd have an official business meeting with my ex-husband, Nicholas. An hour later, Jamie went to bed while I sat in the mirror. Taking a deep breath, I thought about my decision. Did I make a mistake bringing Nicholas onboard? I planned to use him to get things done. Damon was the person I love

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    27: Bailed Them

    Kiara’s POVThe air inside the police station was cold and sharp. I wasn't smiling and my stomach twisted at the thought of seeing them. Deep down, no matter how much they hated me, they were still my step-siblings. I walked in, ignoring the stares of some officers who recognized me. I have made the headlines too many times lately. At the front desk, the officer nodded when I mentioned their names. “They're in the back. They've been quiet today,” he said, standing up to lead me in. I scoffed, my heart beating louder than expected. Quiet? That didn't sound like Mandy. As we got closer to the holding cell, I heard her before I saw her. “I can't sleep here again, James. I swear I'll lose my mind. I can't take this anymore!”“Shut up, Mandy,” James replied in his usual cold tone. When they saw me, Mandy jumped to her feet like she'd seen an angel, or a devil. She rushed to the bars, grabbing them as if I were her only hope. “Kiara, please. I'm sorry, okay? I messed up. Just please

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    26: Sweet Acceptance

    Nicholas’ POVThe shrill ringing of my phone pulled me out of sleep, cutting through the quiet morning. I groaned, rubbing my eyes as I reached for it on my nightstand. Luca's name flashed on the screen. I answered, my voice still hoarse from sleep. “What is it, Luca?” “Sir,” Luca's voice held excitement. “We got in. Kiara's company accepted your application.” I sat up abruptly, the drowsiness vanishing instantly. “What?”Kiara had accepted my application? Unbelievable. I hadn't expected it at all. “Yes, sir,” Luca confirmed. “We got the official email this morning.”For a moment, I didn't know how to react. My fingers tightened around the phone as emotions flooded through me. My eyes widened in happiness as I emerged from my bed. I had sent out applications to several companies, expecting rejections or complicated negotiations, but never in my wildest imagination did I think Kiara would approve me. A part of me wanted to believe it was her way of making peace, but I wasn't that

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    25: Sweet Plan

    Kiara's POV“Welcome back to work, Miss Kiara.” Rose greeted me with a smile on her face. I was happy to be back too, after a week of bed rest. My step-siblings were in jail, and I had ignored Ava's countless calls. I didn't even do anything to them. The police had caught them red-handed, and I didn't know how. Damon had sorted everything as he explained. “Collen!” I screamed in excitement as the old man walked up to hug me. Collen had been my biggest support ever since my dad passed away. He never stopped working with me despite the huge change in the company. Although I had given him enough funds and time to spend with his family and friends, he continued working. Collen had saved my life. And I was forever grateful to him and to God who had used him to change my story.“Good to have you back, Kiara.” He said with a big smile on his face. The rest of my staff greeted me happily as I proceeded to the meeting with my board members. “In your absence, ma'am, Mr. Collen has invited th

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    24: A chance?

    Nicholas’ POV“Kiara,” I muttered under my breath as the call went on. A cold, malicious laugh crackled through the speaker, making my stomach tighten with rage. Damon. My grip on the phone tightened, my knuckles turning white as I glanced at Hollis, who was still waiting from a distance, oblivious to the storm brewing inside me. "Funny how you actually thought Kiara was calling you." His voice dripped with mockery, followed by another laugh that made my blood boil. I clenched my jaw so hard it ached.“Why the fuck did you call me?” I asked, growling. “To say thanks. For, um, saving my woman. And yes I took the credit, she would hate it if she found out that it was her cheating ex-husband who had saved her.” Damon explained. I bit my lip, all I wanted to do right now was punch him in the face. I never wanted the credit. I never wanted Kiara to know. But how on earth had Damon found out enough to pretend that he saved her?A sharp ting of frustration shot through me as I ended the

  • Ex-wife's Sweet Revenge    23: Marriage Proposal

    Nicholas' POV“Sir, the FMF company's shareholders are planning to terminate the contract unless you comply with their demands.” Allen, the director of my board, said in a warning tone. That was it. Hollis had orchestrated this. Forcing me into marriage just to save my company. I growled under my breath, feeling my board members’ eyes on me as I stared at the file on the table.I barely heard the rest of the discussion. The contract lay before me, the words blurring together. “We've had other investors show interest,” Martha chimed in. “but none are willing to commit to the one-year deal.” I nodded absently, my mind elsewhere. Sarah Cameron had already dragged my company through hell, and now, just as I was rebuilding, Hollis was ready to take her chance. She had agreed to help without asking for marriage. What the hell was she on about? I pushed back my chair abruptly. “That'll be all for today. We'll meet again tomorrow.” Without another word, I strode out, heading straight fo
